Starlight #1 review Well, Mark Millar has done it again. Created then wrote some comic book I'd love to see as a movie, no, I want to see as a movie. At a distanced glance, Starlight #1 appears to be some Flash Gordon clone, but as you read each scene, take in each line, it proves it's so much more, and then some. Starlight #1 tells of a pilot who's somehow thrown into … [Read more...]
Fantastic Four #1. The fall.
Fantastic Four #1 Review Indeed, the fall of the Fantastic Four. Sure, the "World's Greatest Comic Magazine" hasn't been the greatest, at least in my opinion, for quite some time, but nothing stops Marvel from rebooting the shit outa books that aren't up to snuff, and Fantastic Four is one of the them. Fantastic Four #1 is the telling of the foursomes fall from super hero … [Read more...]
New Warriors are new to me.
New Warriors #1 review Who are the New Warriors? Who is this rag tag super hero bunch? I'm asking you, I really don't know. I don't even know any of their names. Ok, that's a lie, I do know who Scarlet Spider is, wow, and Nova. To inform those who aren't informed, such as myself as I have the actual New Warriors #1 book in front of me, the New Warriors are comprised of … [Read more...]
Winter Soldier. Fury Espionage.
Winter Soldier #1 review Winter Soldier just in time for Captain America: Winter Soldier. I assume though that this storyline has little to nothing to do with the upcoming movie. Winter Soldier #1 "The Bitter March" also has little to do with the Winter Soldier himself. I'd actually call it more of a Nick Fury title than anything. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, the … [Read more...]
The Punisher #1.NOW or whatever.
The Punisher #1 review The Punisher is back! Well at least back to an ongoing series. So it isn't exactly The Punisher #1.NOW, but I didn't know how to put it. The Punisher #1 of 2014 just sounds to generic. If I had a dollar for every Punisher #1 I've read I'd have like... okay, only $8, but you get the point. The Punisher gets a new "ongoing" series literally twice a year, … [Read more...]
Miracleman Cometh.
Miracleman #1 Review Miracleman #1 has been in the works since the Golden Age of comics, back in the good ol' 1950's. Marvel Comics recently decided to publish this book in honor of it's creator, the late Mick Anglo. You may not recognize the name, but this British book has influenced many of the comics and their heroes today. Miracleman, or Marvelman (something you learn … [Read more...]
Black Widow #1. Phil. Effing. Noto.
Black Widow #1 review What more can be said than the title of this review. Phil f..king Noto. Holy gawd does that man slay it. I was looking at every page, engaged in every scene, taken back by the contrasting colors chosen, just in awe at what I was seeing. With all that being said, everyone knows a book is a team effort, so more mad props go to Nathan Henry Edmondson who … [Read more...]
